...Lauris Norstad. Even in the event of an East German uprising against their Communist rulers, Strauss has said, "There will be no military West German reaction. Our troops are NATO troops." About two-thirds of all Bundeswehr supplies and ammunition are to be stored in other NATO countries. All major weapons systems are closely interlocked with those of other NATO countries. Strauss has not encouraged a new armaments industry, has placed orders for nothing larger than 40-mm. guns in Germany itself. Germany gets most of its weapons from its allies, buys more arms abroad (about $3.5 billion worth...
...Future. U.S. officials find Strauss good to work with. He is the only Minister Adenauer allows to make major policy statements in the Bundestag without horning in to amplify or correct.

She moved into a suite in Manhattan's Plaza Hotel from her twelve-room Staten Island house in order to get away from the distractions of her exuberant 13-year-old son and seven-year-old daughter. Weekends she spent at home with her husband (a retired New York City policeman) and the kids. She studied the stage set carefully, worried over the number of stairs she had to climb, and threatened to wear magnetic clamps...
...ailment is painfully real by having an attack in the doctor's office. Then an electrocardiogram taken during the course of his pain will register telltale changes in the electrical activity of the heart. The ailment is often progressive; eleven of Dr. Prinzmetal's patients eventually suffered major heart attacks. In all these cases, says Dr. Prinzmetal, the attacks struck the exact area of the heart in which the gripping pains of angina had earlier occurred...
